25.01.2022 Congrats to Ainslee Hooper Consulting!!!

22.01.2022 Let me help you reduce the barriers.

22.01.2022 So proud of my 14yo daughter (who has Social & Communication Disorder, similar to Autism) who stands up against her friends using slur words whenever they're used. I know she's braver than I was at 14! <3 Words are powerful so let's use them wisely :)

20.01.2022 Let's just keep it simple!

20.01.2022 The most predictable thing about English is how unpredictable it is!

18.01.2022 I feel so famous!!

18.01.2022 Wondering what language is currently PC? Look no further :)

18.01.2022 Let's all be more inclusive!

15.01.2022 English is never confusing...

13.01.2022 I was recently asked what are the 10 things, I wish people knew about disability. Here they are in no particular order. To readers, some of these will appear co...mmon sense, however, experiences I have had demonstrate there are still gaps in awareness. 1. Disability is a social construct - society is the disabler. 2. Having a disability does not define a person or dictate what their life will be like, society that does that. 3. We can work. 4. We do not live our lives to inspire, there are motivational/inspirational speakers out there. We only appear inspiring because society has misled people on what to expect of people with disabilities. Making a phone call, wheeling oneself or putting money in a vending machine does not make a person inspirational. 5. We can have partners. 6. Being a wheelchair user does not automatically make a person suitable to be a receptionist or secretary,. (Power to you if you are a receptionist or secretary and that's what you want to be!) 7. People can live independent lives/be home owners (with the right support) 8. You might not see a person with a disability somewhere not because they don't want to be there. They might have an invisible disability, or there are issues making the event/place/ inaccessible in more ways than you realise. 9. Having a disability does not mean we automatically understand the experiences of sexism, racism and all the other 'isms", 10. Ableism. The previous 9 things are all a result of ableism, unintentional, internalised ableism which society has led people to believe is the natural way of things. By understanding ableism, we begin to understand the things that we thought we knew, are in fact a result of the way society has framed disability.

12.01.2022 Are you a fan of using Styles?

11.01.2022 I've been listening to this on and off today, really amazing free resource! Keep an eye out for it next year :-)

10.01.2022 It was great to chat with Ainslee Hooper Consulting

09.01.2022 Nice play on words ;-)

08.01.2022 What do you think? I'm not sure everyone who is a legitimate expert has the ability to explain their knowledge and understanding to everyone. They are quite different skills!

08.01.2022 Great to see one of my final projects at Carers ACT online now - starting as an easy English handbook for the NDIS participants in the disability program, I extended it to meet the accessibility requirements in the Aged Care Quality Standards and Principles of Child Safe Organisations and more. I LOVE taking really complex information and making it easier to understand! Note: this link opens as a PDF.... https://www.carersact.org.au//Client-Policies-Easy-Read.pdf See more

07.01.2022 You know you want to ;-)

06.01.2022 Are you really saying what you think you are? ;-)

05.01.2022 Has this year been more or less accessible for you?

05.01.2022 Hi all, I've been quieter than usual lately because first I've been flat out with work, study, kids etc... but also because I was waiting to hear about a job that I'm hoping will be one of the most amazing experiences of my career! I can't say where and what but I will be using all the skills from my business in the job. I plan to keep this page going, but just sharing links when I come across them, rather than trying to keep it really active. Thanks for hanging around!

04.01.2022 Need a hand to come up with an innovative idea and then write the application? Get in touch!

04.01.2022 Writing so everyone can read and understand is so important!

04.01.2022 Ahhh English, always so much fun!

03.01.2022 I love this explanation of disability vs disorder

02.01.2022 Hopefully all media outlets pay attention!
